Summary: Someone's in trouble.
Disclaimer: Firefly or Serenity ain't mine and will never be mine…too bad though…BUT storyline and characters, all invented by my wonderful muse Kate, are all mine
Author's notes: Thanks to my best friends I got hooked to this wonderful show called Firefly, so I guess it's only natural that I dedicate this first fic to them for introducing me into the world of Browncoats, Shindigs and one cute mechanic.
Mistakes are all mine, if you find any, let me know so I can get rid of them…
Source I used for the Chinese...if you want to know I'll email it cause fanfiction won't let me post the links...
Ohyeah, one more thing I don't write chapters, I just post what I have so far and go from there…they're just parts of the whole thing….

o Alliance Prison o
The silence hit her like a ton of bricks. It was as if she were all alone in a very large room. She jumped as the door behind her shut with a loud clang and shuddered as she could hear a heavy lock being put in place. Heavy footsteps disappeared in the distance, while whispering sounds and hushed voices reached out to her. She took a few careful steps away from the door, squinting against the light coming from above. As she looked up to see where the light came from she noticed a couple of floating lights close by the ceiling, shedding little light here and there. A few more steps and she found herself in the middle of one of the light beams. It was like she was standing in a spotlight with everybody looking at her, waiting for something to happen or for her to speak.
She glanced around, letting her guard down, to take in the surroundings she could see from where she stood. Before her brain could register what was going on, though, she was violently shuffled back against the door, pain registering the moment she came in contact with the hard metal. She gasped for air, struggling against the tight grip of one strong hand, holding her a nice 2 feet above ground.
"Well, well ... look what the guards left us this time?" The woman holding her was well fed and certainly not one to trifle with. She had pitch black hair and dark brown eyes were staring viciously at her. She needed air and she needed it fast. The giant brought her face closer to the trapped one, grinning but bursting into an evil laughter as she noticed the fear clearly present in a pair of big dark eyes. To the woman's satisfaction those eyes were watering up pretty quickly.
"BG ... found someone new to play with?" In a blur of tears the trapped inmate could distinguish a tall and slender figure behind the large woman.
"This ain't your business!" A low growl escaped the woman's throat, alerting the slender figure to BG's gang, who had gathered around her. "Keep walking, Freedom! Or I'll have my gang teach you a lesson or two."
"Well, you ain't gonna be playing long, I reckon. You're killing her." Freedom stated matter-of-factly while assessing the situation. At that moment the larger woman loosened her grip, dropping the semi-conscious newbie unceremoniously to the ground. She turned around, coming at once face to face with Freedom, who hadn't moved an inch.
"Then maybe you and I can play a little game." A fist came flying towards her face so fast, Freedom was barely in time to duck out of its way. She rolled away from her attacker, ending strategically behind BG. She gave her a swift kick in the back, making her stumble and biting the dust.
"Are we done playing?" Freedom knew better than to go nearer to where BG was boiling on the ground. "Because I have a newbie to look after."
"I swear, one day you won't be talking big no more!" BG got up and spat at Freedom, who returned the anger with a sweet little smile before turning back to the matters at hand.
In a haze of tears and pain, she saw the slender figure closing in on her position against the door. Her oxygen deprived brains were fighting for air, while all she wanted was to curl up in a ball and disappear. She was scared, in fact she had never been this scared before. She coughed, pain shooting through her almost strangled throat.
"Hey you!" Freedom leveled herself with the huddled being on the floor, careful not to spook her too much. She gave the newbie a once over and knew she would need some help to get her to a fairly safe place. Freedom looked around and found a familiar face she knew she could trust not too far away. "Firefly!" A young girl no older than 16 quickly jumped up and came jogging down to her position. "Find Viper for me, will ya!" The youngster nodded and immediately disappeared, to return few seconds later followed by an older woman with a large tattoo of a viper on her upper left arm.
"What ya got, Freedom?" She bend over to get a closer look to what her buddy was looking at. "BG did this?"
"Yeah, come on, help me get her to our bunk." They picked the new inmate off the floor, hearing her moan in pain.
"Let me handle this!" Viper scooped the young one up in her arms. "This'll go faster." Freedom nodded and led the way towards their bunk, making sure they weren't followed by any of BG's thugs.
